knowing that light dont experience time, implies that

is this not paradoxical?

No, it's not. Read your own sentence. It isn't as though time is
stopped for light. It is not as though all times are the same for
light. It is not as though no time passes for light.

Light does not experience time AT ALL. Time has no meaning for light.
If you ask light whether it's the same time when it arrives as when it
was emitted, it will say, "Time? What's that? I have no idea what
you're talking about."


it does not matter which frame is what, that light pulse
detected is fresh, so it must be present not past
